Pure X is the last band, has always been the last band. Not that there won't be future acts, more that Pure X understands that all this pageantry, this civilization is wrapping up. It burned hot and bright like thermite used to bust a safe open, but now is the age of radiating waves, each one buckles the foundation more than the last. Rare Ecstasy 2009-2019 is a collection of recordings and rarities that span the more than a decade career of the Austin underground legends. Referred to by Pitchfork as the "druggy, wall-of-sound escapism that put them on the map". These 12 tracks embody the Pure X sound, breaking it down and offering up a raw emotive portrait that cycle the Band's expansive output. A must have addition to the collection of any Pure X fan.

Pleasure is the debut album from Austin underground luminaries Pure X, re-issued on color vinyl for the first time since 2011 by Fire Talk on the 14 year anniversary of the album's original release. Building from promising 7" releases, 'Pleasure' continues the band's affinity for burnt out soundscapes and intricate, understated guitar work that together weaves a moody tapestry of everlasting sunset. Spotlighted by major press, Pitchfork in particular commended the album as a "terrific-sounding record, built for headphones and high volume." A revelatory introduction to the band, 'Pleasure' pinpoints a signature sound that Pure X would continue to hone over the course of a longstanding career - a pristinely devastating soundtrack that feels pertinent to the end times of the current state of the world.
